Newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are ready to begin their lives together in a small town in upstate New York. Whilst Annie spends most of her time alone, Sam, her therapist husband, works long hours in his home office, tending to the egos of his mostly female clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in the ceiling, every word of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist's wife, contemplating a divorce. The well-known painter whose boyfriend doesn't satisfy her in bed. Who could resist eavesdropping?

We all want different things. Francie wants to be the perfect mother. Nell wants to escape the past. Collette wants to spend more time with her family. All Winnie wants is to have her baby back. When Nell suggests a night out in Brooklyn to her new mums club, the others jump at the chance. But the evening takes a tragic turn when single mother Winnie learns that her six-week-old son, Midas, has been kidnapped.

Der Psychotherapeut Sam and seine Frau Annie ziehen aus New York in die verschlafene Kleinstadt, in der Sam aufgewachsen ist. Dort arbeitet Sam fast rund um die Uhr in seiner Praxis im Souterrain mit seinen (fast nur weiblichen) Klientinnen, während Annie zu viel Zeit allein verbringt. Sam ahnt nicht, dass durch einen Lüftungsschacht all seine Therapiesitzungen im Obergeschoss zu hören sind: die Frau des Apothekers, die sich scheiden lassen möchte. Die Malerin mit dem enttäuschenden Liebesleben. All diese Geschichten mit anzuhören, ist unwiderstehlich.
